A migrant crossing the border into Arizona made an ominous threat, saying, “Soon, you’re gonna know who I am,” according to an independent journalist.
1stResponderMedia posted a video on X showing an interview with a group of migrants who illegally crossed the border 12 miles east of Sasabe, Arizona, over the weekend. At least one of the migrants in the small group identified himself as an African migrant from Morocco.
A migrant who illegally crossed into the United States threatened me, saying “You find out who I am very soon,” simply because I asked him where he was from. These are the people @AliMayorkas @POTUS @DHSgov and @CBP are letting in. pic.twitter.com/iblMnNndpa

A second male migrant traveling in the same group responded to a question about his country of origin with an ominous message.
“If you are smart enough, you will know who I am,” the migrant began. “But you are really not smart enough to know who I am.”
“But soon,” he continued, “You’re gonna know who I am.”
The migrant then walked away.
